The Effects Of Misrepresentation (2020-2021), Miranda R. Cobo Jan 2020

The Effects Of Misrepresentation (2020-2021), Miranda R. Cobo

Research Inquiry

This example of a research inquiry investigates issues of representation in the comic, Black Panther. Cobo writes: “In the 1960s, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby introduced T’Challa, famously known as the Black Panther. He was the first black superhero to be introduced in the Marvel Universe and into popular American comics. The world that Black Panther lived in is very advanced and breaks the stereotype of the view that many Americans have on Africa. However, that is only one stereotype that it has worked against.

Illegitimate Control: An Acknowledgement Of False White Supremacy (2020-2021), Whitman Ives Jan 2020

Illegitimate Control: An Acknowledgement Of False White Supremacy (2020-2021), Whitman Ives

Research Inquiry

This research inquiry introduces a timely conversation on racism, cultural appropriation, and white supremacy. Ives’ argument is that the root cause of cultural appropriation and racism can be traced to a negative and false history of white supremacy. In other words, white culture has been founded and perpetuated based on power-seeking behavior, of which racism is more a symptom. Ives asserts that it is important to acknowledge that white culture is based on false assumptions of supremacy and to address that more systematically rather than addressing only individual events or instances of racism.
